anderperry soulmate au where u get things that ur soulmate loses
so like if neil loses a book, todd will find it, and im mostly thinking things u can touch, but ideas and thoughts might be cool too
neil is studying when a scrap of paper ends up with his notes and it’s a unfinished poem and neil loves it
he’s so excited that his soulmate is a poet
“maybe it’s just a school assignment or something”
and he reads and rereads it over and over
until he thinks that his soulmate will probably want it back and loses it
todd finds a red sweater that looks like a hug
he feels a bit awkward about wearing it but it looks so comforting and he just puts it on
and he thinks about losing it so his soulmate gets it back, but it just feels so comfortable and safe he ends up keeping it
(neil recognizes it when todd absentmindedly wears it after he transfers to welton)
neil is always finding pens and poems, books and plays, homework assignments and notes and it makes him so happy to read the poems, except when the poems look a bit too personal then he tries not to
he usually throws them somewhere randomly to lose them
but he keeps a few unfinished poems for himself
(the ones that are crossed out and scratched and would have ended in the trashcan anyway)
one day, todd goes back to his room at balincrest after a long day of testing and there’s just a /guy/ there
and the guys like “heyy there im charlie, i think ur my friends soulmate?”
and charlie’s like “yeah, we were in the woods and neil lost me, next thing i know im here”
and todd is like “w h a t”
and charlie is like “do u have any snacks? im starving”
and todd is like “ w u t “
and if they exchanged lost thoughts
neil writes down stanzas and lines and whole poems sometimes, planning on giving them to his soulmate when they meet <3
alternative meeting, todd wanders off and loses himself and next thing he knows he’s falling onto some guy’s lap
